David Austin has a bewitching story to tell, and he is uniquely placed to describe each rose's individual charms. He analyses the English Roses in great depth, setting them in their place in history, and describing the early hybridizing work that led to the first varieties. With a broader perspective, he considers how to choose partners for roses in the garden; and a unique, illustrated catalog of more than sixty of the best varieties of English Rose provides a rich reference source. Finally, rose growers will find David Austin's advice on how to grow, prune, and care for their own roses truly invaluable.
Throughout the book, Clay Perry's ravishing photographs bring the roses to life, both in colorful close-up and in picturesque garden settings.
